Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Offering of Convertible Notes

On October 6, 2016, Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Note SPA”) with Adar Bays, LLC (“Investor”), for the private placement of $330,000 principal amount of the Company’s 6% Original Issue Discount Convertible Redeemable Promissory Notes (“Notes”).

On October 6, 2016, the Company sold and issued $330,000 principal amount of Notes to Investor in exchange for $300,000 of gross proceeds.

Terms of the Notes

Unless earlier converted or prepaid, (i) $110,000 principal amount of the Notes will mature on December 5, 2016, (ii) $110,000 principal amount of the Notes will mature on January 3, 2017, and (iii) $110,000 principal amount of the Notes will mature on February 3, 2017. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum, subject to increase to 24% per annum upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default (as described below).

All principal and accrued interest on the Notes are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Investor into shares of Common Stock at a variable conversion price equal to 80% of the lowest closing bid price of our Common Stock for the fifteen consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date. After the six month anniversary of the issuance of any Note, the conversion price for such Note shall thereafter be equal to 50% of the lowest closing bid price of our Common Stock for the fifteen consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date.

Principal on the Notes is payable on the respective maturity dates. Principal on the Notes is payable in cash. Interest on the Notes is payable from time to time in the form of shares of Common Stock using the conversion price formula described above.

The Notes contain standard and customary events of default including but not limited to: (i) failure to make payments when due under the Notes; and (ii) bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company.

The Notes may not be converted and shares of Common Stock may not be issued pursuant to the Notes if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, the holder together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

There are no registration rights applicable to the Notes.

Exchange of Outstanding Series A Preferred Stock for Convertible Notes

In 2013, the Company completed a private placement to one accredited investor (the “Series A Holder”) of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”). The Company currently has 165,541 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that remain outstanding.

On October 6, 2016, the Series A Holder entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the Investor. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, beginning December 5, 2016, the Investor has the option to exchange, from time to time, all or any portion of the Notes for outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Series A Holder.

The rate of exchange between the Notes and the Series Preferred Stock shall be calculated on an as-converted to Common Stock basis.



The parties will first calculate the number of shares of Common Stock that the principal and accrued but unpaid interest of the Notes to be exchanged are convertible into using the formula set described below (the “As-Converted Common Share Number”). The parties shall next calculate that number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be exchanged that (including accrued and unpaid dividends and make whole amounts) upon conversion in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock would result in the issuance, as of the effective date of the exchange, of the As-Converted Common Share Number.

The principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the exchanged portion of the Notes shall be calculated into the As-Converted Common Share Number by using the following formula. The As-Converted Common Share Number shall be equal to 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company Common Stock for the fifteen trading days immediately preceding the date on which a notice of exchange is delivered. Subsequent to any exchange, the parties shall have the rights to convert the securities received (Notes or Series A Preferred Stock as applicable) upon the exchange in accordance with the terms of such securities.

The foregoing description of the Note SPA, the Notes and the Exchange Agreement New Notes is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the documents attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, which documents are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes are being offered and sold to an accredited investor in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

Item 3.03     Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Amendment of Outstanding Series F Convertible Preferred Stock Conversion Price

In January 2016, the Company issued $7.0 million of the Company’s Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series F Preferred Stock”) to one accredited investor. The Company currently had approximately $335,950 of Series F Preferred Stock remaining outstanding as of October 5, 2016.

On October 5, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series F Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Amendment amends the conversion price at which the Series F Preferred Stock can be converted into shares of Common Stock.

As amended, the conversion price will now be equal to the lowest of (i) 50% of the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our Common Stock for the ten consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date or (ii) 50% of the lowest closing bid price of our Common Stock for the ten consecutive trading day period prior to the


conversion date. If certain “Triggering Events” specified in the terms of the Series F Preferred Stock occur, then the conversion price of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be thereafter reduced, and only reduced, to equal 50% of the average of the lowest traded price of the Common Stock for the twenty consecutive trading day period prior to the Conversion Date.

The other terms and conditions of the Series F Preferred Stock remain unchanged.

A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN

3

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

4

3.      Representations and Warranties of the Company . The Company represents and warrants to the Buyer that:

a.      Organization and Qualification . The Company and each of its subsidiaries, if any, is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, with full power and authority (corporate and other) to own, lease, use and operate its properties and to carry on its business as and where now owned, leased, used, operated and conducted.

b.      Authorization; Enforcement . (i) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, the Note and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and to issue the Securities, in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, (ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Note by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including without limitation, the issuance of the Note and the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof) have been duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors, or its shareholders is required, (iii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company by its authorized representative, and such authorized representative is the true and official representative with authority to sign this Agreement and the other documents executed in connection herewith and bind the Company accordingly, and (iv) this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery by the Company of the Note, each of such instruments will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

c.      Issuance of Shares . The Conversion Shares are duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon conversion of the Note in accordance with its respective terms, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Company and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

d.      Acknowledgment of Dilution . The Company understands and acknowledges the potentially dilutive effect to the Common Stock upon the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Note. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Note in accordance with this Agreement, the Note is absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.

e.      No Conflicts . The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Note by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares) will not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, or (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach

5

of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both could become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture, patent, patent license or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which the Company or its securities are subject) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected (except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect). All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to the date hereof. The Company is not in violation of the listing requirements of the OTC Markets Exchange (the “OTC MARKETS”) and does not reasonably anticipate that the Common Stock will be delisted by the OTC MARKETS in the foreseeable future, nor are the Company’s securities “chilled” by FINRA. The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.

f.      Absence of Litigation . Except as disclosed in the Company’s Periodic Report filings with the SEC, there is no action, suit, claim, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or their officers or directors in their capacity as such, that could have a material adverse effect. Schedule 3(f) contains a complete list and summary description of any pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened proceeding against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, without regard to whether it would have a material adverse effect. The Company and its subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.

g.      Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer’ Purchase of Securities . The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer is acting solely in the capacity of arm’s length purchasers with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges that the Buyer is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any statement made by the Buyer or any of its respective representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is not advice or a recommendation and is merely incidental to the Buyer’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to the Buyer that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the Company and its representatives.

h.      No Integrated Offering . Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales in any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration under the 1933 Act of the issuance of the Securities to the Buyer.
  

6

i.      Title to Property . The Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in Schedule 3(i) or such as would not have a material adverse effect. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not have a material adverse effect.

j.      Bad Actor . No officer or director of the Company would be disqualified under Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act as amended on the basis of being a "bad actor" as that term is established in the September 19, 2013 Small Entity Compliance Guide published by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

k.      Breach of Representations and Warranties by the Company . If the Company breaches any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Section 3, and in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, it will be considered an Event of default under the Note.

4.      COVENANTS .

a.      Expenses . At the Closing, the Company shall reimburse Buyer for expenses incurred by them in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other agreements to be executed in connection herewith (“Documents”), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses, transfer agent fees, fees for stock quotation services, fees relating to any amendments or modifications of the Documents or any consents or waivers of provisions in the Documents, fees for the preparation of opinions of counsel, escrow fees, and costs of restructuring the transactions contemplated by the Documents. When possible, the Company must pay these fees directly, otherwise the Company must make immediate payment for reimbursement to the Buyer for all fees and expenses immediately upon written notice by the Buyer or the submission of an invoice by the Buyer.

b.      Listing . The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the Conversion Shares upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and, so long as the Buyer owns any of the Note Securities, shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Conversion Shares from time to time issuable upon conversion of the Note. The Company will obtain and, so long as the Buyer owns any of the Securities, maintain the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the OTC MARKETS or any equivalent replacement market, the Nasdaq stock market (“Nasdaq”), the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), or the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and such exchanges, as applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to the Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the OTC MARKETS and any other

7

markets on which the Common Stock is then listed regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for listing on such markets.

c.      Corporate Existence .

ASCENT SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
6% CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE NOTE
DUE NOVEMBER 29, 2016


FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) promises to pay to the order of ADAR BAYS, LLC and its authorized successors and Permitted Assigns, defined below, (" Holder "), the aggregate principal face amount One Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars exactly (U.S. $110,000.00) on November 29, 2016 (" Maturity Date ") and to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at the rate of 6% per annum commencing on October 6, 2016. This Note shall contain an original issue discount of $10,000 such that the purchase price shall be $100,000.00. The interest will be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Note. The principal of, and interest on, this Note are payable at 3411 Indian Creek Drive, Suite 403, Miami Beach, FL 33140, initially, and if changed, last appearing on the records of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder hereof from time to time. The Company will pay each interest payment and the outstanding principal due upon this Note before or on the Maturity Date, less any amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, to the Holder of this Note by check or wire transfer addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the records of the Company. The forwarding of such check or wire transfer shall constitute a payment of outstanding principal hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer. Interest shall be payable in Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to paragraph 4(b) herein. Permitted Assigns means any Holder assignment, transfer or sale of all or a portion of this Note accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel as provided for in Section 2(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:





1.    This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange, except that Holder shall pay any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection therewith. To the extent that Holder subsequently transfers, assigns, sells or exchanges any of the multiple lesser denomination notes, Holder acknowledges that it will provide the Company with Opinions of Counsel as provided for in Section 2(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

2.    The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all payments any amounts required to be withheld under applicable laws.

3.    This Note may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (" Act "), applicable state securities laws and Sections 2(f) and 5(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any attempted transfer to a non-qualifying party shall be treated by the Company as void. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company's records as the owner hereof for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound by notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Note electing to exercise the right of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4(a), and any prequalified prospective transferee of this Note, also is required to give the Company written confirmation that this Note is being converted (" Notice of Conversion ") in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A . The date of receipt (including receipt by telecopy) of such Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date. All notices of conversion will be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

4.    (a)    The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company's common stock (the " Common Stock ") at a price (" Conversion Price ") for each share of Common Stock equal to 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTC Markets exchange which the Company’s shares are traded or any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future (" Exchange "), for the fifteen prior trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company (provided such Notice of Conversion is delivered together with an Opinion of Counsel, by fax or other electronic method of communication to the Company after 4 P.M. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time if the Holder wishes to include the same day closing price). If the shares have not been delivered within 3 business days, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Such conversion shall be effectuated by the Company delivering the shares of Common Stock to the Holder within 3 business days of receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion. Accrued, but unpaid interest shall be subject to conversion. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. To the extent the Conversion Price of the Company’s Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Company will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law. The Company

2

agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this increase. In the event the Company experiences a DTC “Chill” on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 70% instead of 80% while that “Chill” is in effect. In no event shall the Holder be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates would exceed 9.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company. The conversion discount set forth above shall be decreased from 80% to 50% on the 6 month anniversary of this Note.

(b)    Interest on any unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of 6% per annum. Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock ("Interest Shares"). Holder may, at any time, send in a Notice of Conversion to the Company for Interest Shares based on the formula provided in Section 4(a) above. The dollar amount converted into Interest Shares shall be all or a portion of the accrued interest calculated on the unpaid principal balance of this Note to the date of such notice.

(c)    The Note may be prepaid with the following penalties: if the note is prepaid within 59 days of the issuance date, then at 110% of the face amount plus any accrued interest. Such redemption must be closed and funded within 3 days of giving notice of redemption of the right to redeem shall be null and void. The period of the right to prepay shall not exceed the 60 day term of this Note.

(d)     Upon (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (ii) a reclassification, capital reorganization (excluding an increase in authorized capital) or other change or exchange of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, other than a forward or reverse stock split or stock dividend, or (iii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a merger which is effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common Stock solely into shares of Common Stock) (each of items (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to as a "Sale Event"), then, in each case, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, redeem this Note in cash for 150% of the principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption, or at the election of the Holder, such Holder may convert the unpaid principal amount of this Note (together with the amount of accrued but unpaid interest) into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Sale Event at the Conversion Price.

(e)     In case of any Sale Event (not to include a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) in connection with which this Note is not redeemed or converted, the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to purchase or convert this Note into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise of the Note and at the same Conversion Price, as defined in this Note, immediately prior to such Sale Event. The

3

foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.

5.    No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed.

6.    The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereto.

7.    The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, which may be incurred by the Holder in collecting any amount due under this Note.

8.    If one or more of the following described "Events of Default" shall occur:

(a)    The Company shall default in the payment of principal or interest on this Note or any other note issued to the Holder by the Company; or

(b)    Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein or in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note, or the Securities Purchase Agreement under which this note was issued shall be false or misleading in any respect; or

(c)    The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any respect, any covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Company under this Note or any other note issued to the Holder; or

(d)    The Company shall (1) become insolvent (which does not include a “going concern opinion); (2) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature; (3) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; (4) apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; (5) file a petition for bankruptcy relief, consent to the filing of such petition or have filed against it an involuntary petition for bankruptcy relief, all under federal or state laws as applicable; or

(e)    A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for the Company or for a substantial part of its property or business without its consent and shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment; or


4

(f)    Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company; or

(g)    One or more money judgments, writs or warrants of attachment, or similar process, in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate, shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its properties or other assets and shall remain unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of fifteen (15) days or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or

(h)    Defaulted on or breached any term of any other note, preferred stock, or similar debt instrument into which the Company has entered and failed to cure such default within the appropriate grace period; or

(i)    The Company shall have its Common Stock delisted from an exchange (including the OTC Markets exchange) or, if the Common Stock trades on an exchange, then trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended for more than 10 consecutive days or ceases to file its 1934 act reports with the SEC;

(j)    If a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company on the date hereof are no longer serving as members of the Board;

(k)    The Company shall not deliver to the Holder the Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 4 herein without restrictive legend within 3 business days of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion which includes an Opinion of Counsel expressing an opinion which supports the removal of a restrictive legend; or

(l)     The Company shall not replenish the reserve set forth in Section 12, within 3 business days of the request of the Holder, or does not increase the authorized capital within 60 days of the issuance date of this Note; or

(m)    The Company shall be delinquent in its periodic report filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; or

(n)     The Company shall cause to lose the “bid” price for its stock in a market (including the OTC marketplace or other exchange).

Then, or at any time thereafter, unless cured within 5 days (except for Section 8(o) which is an incurable default, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider this Note immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or (further) notice of any kind (other than notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary

5

notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately, and without expiration of any period of grace, enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law. Upon an Event of Default, interest shall accrue at a default interest rate of 24% per annum or, if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the highest rate of interest permitted by law. In the event of a breach of Section 8(k) the penalty shall be $250 per day the shares are not issued beginning on the 4 th day after the conversion notice was delivered to the Company. This penalty shall increase to $500 per day beginning on the 10 th day. The penalty for a breach of Section 8(n) shall be an increase of the outstanding principal amounts by 20%. In case of a breach of Section 8(i), the outstanding principal due under this Note shall increase by 50%. If this Note is not paid at maturity, the outstanding principal due under this Note shall increase by 10%. Further, if a breach of Section 8(m) occurs or is continuing after the 6 month anniversary of the Note, then the Holder shall be entitled to use the lowest closing bid price during the delinquency period as a base price for the conversion. For example, if the lowest closing bid price during the delinquency period is $0.01 per share and the conversion discount is 50% the Holder may elect to convert future conversions at $0.005 per share.

If the Holder shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Note, including, without limitation, engaging an attorney, then if the Holder prevails in such action, the Holder shall be reimbursed by the Company for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
 
Make-Whole for Failure to Deliver Loss. At the Holder’s election, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the conversion shares by the by the 3rd business day following the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company and if the Holder incurs a Failure to Deliver Loss, then at any time the Holder may provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Failure to Deliver Loss and the Company must make the Holder whole as follows:
Failure to Deliver Loss = [(High trade price at any time on or after the day of exercise) x (Number of conversion shares)]

The Company must pay the Failure to Deliver Loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be made by the third business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice to the Company.
 
9.    In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.    Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.
                                        

6

11.    The Company represents that it is not a “shell” issuer and that if it previously has been a “shell” issuer that at least 12 months have passed since the Company has reported Form 10 type information indicating it is no longer a “shell issuer.
12.    The Company shall issue irrevocable transfer agent instructions initially reserving 150,000,000 shares of its Common Stock for conversions under this Note and two other $110,000 notes being issued on the same date (the “Share Reserve”). Upon full conversion of this Note, any shares remaining in the Share Reserve shall be cancelled. The Company shall pay all transfer agent costs associated with issuing and delivering the share certificates to Holder. If such amounts are to be paid by the Holder, it may deduct such amounts from the Conversion Price. The company should at all times reserve a minimum of four times the amount of shares required if the note would be fully converted.  Such reservation will occur follow the stockholder meeting at which an increase to the authorized capital is approved. The Holder may reasonably request increases from time to time to reserve such amounts. The Company will instruct its transfer agent to provide the outstanding share information to the Holder in connection with its conversions.

13.    The Company will give the Holder direct notice of any corporate actions, including but not limited to name changes, stock splits, recapitalizations etc. This notice shall be given to the Holder as soon as possible under law.

14.    This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York applicable to contracts made and wholly to be performed within the State of New York and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each party hereto. The Holder and the Company hereby mutually waive trial by jury and consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts of the State of New York or in the Federal courts sitting in the county or city of New York. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and the facsimile transmission of an executed counterpart to this Agreement shall be effective as an original.

(e)     In case of any Sale Event (not to include a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) in connection with which this Note is not redeemed or converted, the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to purchase or convert this Note into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise of the Note and

If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.

5.    No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed.

5

kind (other than notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately, and without expiration of any period of grace, enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.

The Company must pay the Failure to Deliver Loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be made by the third business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice to the Company.
 
9.    In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.    Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.

The Holder may reasonably request increases from time to time to reserve such amounts. The Company will instruct its transfer agent to provide the outstanding share information to the Holder in connection with its conversions.

Exhibit 10.5

EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
This Exchange Agreement (the “ Agreement ”) is made by and between Adar Bays, LLC (“Adar”) and Seng Wei Seow (the “ Series A Holder ”), effective October 6, 2016. The Series A Holder and the Adar are sometimes referred to in this Agreement singly as a “ Party ” or collectively as the “ Parties ”.
WHEREAS, the Series A Holder is the holder of 165,541 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “ Preferred Stock ”), issued by Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (the “ Company ”);
WHEREAS, Series A Holder wishes to exchange shares of the Preferred Stock to Adar in exchange for portions of three convertible notes of the Company owned by Adar (collectively, the “ Adar Notes ”);
WHEREAS, Adar desires to exchange portions of the Adar Notes owned by it for shares of the Preferred Stock;
WHEREAS, Series A Holder agrees that, upon Series A Holder’s receipt of a notice of exchange (“ Exchange Notice ”) delivered to it by Adar, specifying the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be exchanged for Adar Notes, Adar shall have an interest and right to such shares of the Preferred Stock, and the Series A Holder shall have no claim, right or other ownership in such shares of the Preferred Stock; and shall instead have a right to the portion of the Adar Note surrendered in the Exchange Notice.
WHEREAS, the above Recitals are incorporated into and made part of this Agreement and Parties intend to be bound by the terms of this Agreement;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:
1.
Assignment of Interest. Beginning on the 60 th day following the issuance of the Adar Notes, the Series A Holder hereby grants Adar an option to exchange the Adar Notes into shares of the Preferred Stock in tranches as set forth determined by Adar, in its sole discretion (the “ Exchange Option ”), and Adar hereby accepts such Exchange Option, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
1.1
As consideration for the Preferred Stock received in each exchange, Adar will surrender all rights to that portion of the Adar Note being exchanged for the Preferred Stock, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Series A Holder shall retain all of its rights with respect to any un-exchanged portion of the Preferred Stock until the entire Preferred Stock has been assigned and Adar shall retain all of its rights with respect to the un-exchanged portion of the Adar Notes.
1.2
The Parties agree that the rate of exchange between Adar Notes and Preferred Stock shall be calculated on an as-converted to Common Stock basis as provided herein. The Parties shall first calculate the number of shares of Common Stock that the principal and accrued/unpaid interest of the Adar Notes to be exchanged are convertible into using the formula set forth below in Section 1.4 (the “ As-Converted





Common Share Number ”). The Parties shall next calculate that number of shares of Preferred Stock to be exchanged that (including accrued and unpaid dividends and make whole amounts) upon conversion in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Stock would result in the issuance, as of the effective date of the exchange, of the As-Converted Common Share Number.
1.3
The Company shall assist the Parties in the calculations of the amounts of securities to be exchanged in each tranche hereunder and also the calculation of the As-Converted Common Share Number for each tranche. In the event of a disagreement between the Parties regarding such calculations, the calculations provided by the Company shall govern absent manifest error.
1.4
The principal and accrued/unpaid interest on the exchanged portion of the Adar Notes shall be converted into the As-Converted Common Share Number by using the following formula. The As-Converted Common Share Number shall be equal to 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company Common Stock (“Common Stock”)), as reported on any exchange or trading market upon which the Common Stock is traded or may be traded in the future (" Exchange "), for the fifteen (15) trading days immediately preceding the date on which an Exchange Notice is delivered, including the day upon which an Exchange Notice is received by the Company, provided such Exchange Notice is delivered by fax or email to the Company and the Series A Holder between the hours of 4 P.M. Eastern Time and 8 P.M. Eastern Time. The exchanged Preferred Stock and the exchanged Adar Notes shall be delivered within three (3) business days of receipt by the Parties to each other. Subsequent to any exchange, the Parties shall have the rights to convert the securities received upon the exchange in accordance with the terms of such securities. If the Preferred Stock is not delivered to Adar within 4 business days from the delivery of an Exchange Notice, then a penalty of $500 per day shall be deducted from the value of the exchanged portion of the Note for each day that Adar has not received the Preferred Stock and Adar may send in a revised Exchange Notice to reflect such adjustment. Barring any manifest errors, such revised Exchange Notice shall be binding
